What is the Lingoport Resource Manager?

Lingoport Resource Manager (LRM) is a software product that bridges the gap between development and localization processes. It is geared toward development organizations tackling globalization of their software they can target international markets. The Lingoport Dashboard utilizes LRM's report capacity to show translation status in a user-friendly display.

On the development side, users can type in shell commands to replace manual and error-prone steps to:

The shell commands can then be used to automate the processes, for instance, by integrating them into a build environment.

On the project and globalization management side, the Lingoport Dashboard provides an up-to-date status of the resources and their translation by locale. A number of views are presented, with drill-down to the specific issues detected by the Lingoport Resource Manager.

What Does the Lingoport Resource Manager Do?

The Lingoport Resource Manager provides a translation status for resource files and facilitates and helps automate passing resource files from the development environment to the translation vendor and back. It validates and packages the resources to be sent for translation in a prep kit. When the corresponding kit is received for a locale, it validates the translated files and helps put the translated files into the source code.

Does the Resource Manager Compete with Translation Products?

No. The Resource Manager assists development organizations with automating error prone tasks, as well as managing and tracking resources for global readiness. The Resource Manager is not a translation tool nor is it a content management system (CMS).

Does the Resource Manager Help with Agile Processes?

Absolutely. The Resource Manager helps automate tasks. It also shows the status of the state of translation within the source code itself. It helps different software development cultures, in particular those applying Agile processes, by facilitating the tracking, sending, and receiving of resource kits. Non Agile processes do still benefit from the Resource Manager.
